Anesthesia
Our anesthetists are highly qualified in all aspects of outpatient anesthesia and will be providing anesthesia services. Your anesthetist will
meet with you before surgery and answer any questions you may have. Be sure to talk to the anesthetist about the medications you are currently
taking, even over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements.
